Little Known Dangers
But they
mocked the messengers of God, despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets,
until the wrath of the LORD arose against His people, till there was no remedy.
- 2 Chronicles 36:16.
In
December 1998 Kevin Mackle a 19-year-old student in Quebec tried to shake loose
a soft drink. Instead of receiving a soft drink Kevin was crushed to death when
the 920-pound machine tipped over on to him. Who would have thought that a coke machine would be dangerous! But
since 1978, 35 people have died in the United States alone from vending
machines, which have tipped over.
The
people of Judah must have been just as incredulous about the danger involved in
ignoring God. Judgment did come upon them in a devastating way when they were
carried into captivity. Who would have thought that God was that serious about
it? But He was and He still is serious about it.
Do you
despise God’s Words? Do you mock or
misuse the messengers of God? Why would anyone want to do that? We
despise God’s Words when we know what He wants us to do but we do something
else with our lives. We mock God’s messengers when we hear the Word of God
preached and fail to respond as God has spoken to our hearts. Little known
dangers but spiritually just as dangerous as a falling coke machine.
Judah
waited so long that they ran out of time and God’s judgment came upon them. Why
risk another day outside of God’s will? Determine
in your heart that you will no longer despise God by the way you live your
life. “Behold, now is the accepted
time, now is the day of salvation (2 Corinthians 6:2).”
